Section 1.0. Overview of the Training and Development (T&D) System Framework(Volume 1 contains the details of the Framework)
1.1.Rationale
The Department of Education (DepED) is presently active in implementing fundamental reforms that include efforts for human resource development at all levels to support quality performance of schools and learners. The Department’s package of policy reforms known as the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA) seeks “to systematically improve critical regulatory, institutional, structural, financial, cultural, physical and informational conditions affecting basic education provision, access and delivery on the ground. These policy reforms are expected to create critical changes necessary to further accelerate, broaden, deepen and sustain the improved education effort already being started” (BESRA PIP, 2006).
BESRA’s vision for human resource development propels a unified system that provides for the continuing quality professional development for in-service education personnel at all levels of the educational system. Two of the major policy reforms under BESRA serve as the core of this present initiative for training and development. The first policy is the National School-Based Management Framework and Standards, which is the decentralization of decision-making authority to individual schools allowing various stakeholders to plan and implement goals to improve school performance and student achievement. The second policy is the Teacher Education and Development Program (TEDP), which saw the establishment of the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS). This is a framework that contains “a set of competency standards for teacher performance so that teachers, pupils and parents are able to appreciate the complex set of behaviors, attitudes and skills that each teacher must possess in order to carry out a satisfactory performance of their roles and responsibilities”(TEDP Final Report, 2006). Necessarily, training and development for teachers and school heads, for instance, must be based on accepted standards of the profession such as the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) and the National Competency-Based Standards for School Heads (NCBS-SH).
Training and Development (T&D) is defined for the purpose of this framework as the process of providing professional development for the personnel of the Department of Education. The process is aimed at improving competencies and work performance through the provision of a wide variety of opportunities for individual growth in knowledge, attitudes, and skills. It is a personal and professional growth process, which necessarily integrates the goals of the individual professional with the development goals of the school, division and region for better student outcomes. The ultimate beneficiaries of T&D are the learners whose rights to quality education shall be the system’s foremost consideration.
Professional Development activities range from independent study such as personal or structured professional reading; to supported learning such as mentoring and coaching; to collective action such as getting involved in a professional organization or conducting group research and to formal programs such as on site face-to-face training, distance or on-line course study, and continuing formal education.
Training and Development in the education system is most successful in a learning community, which promotes the goals of school-based management with strong leadership and support systems. It is most likely to succeed when it is embedded in the vision, strategic plan and organizational structure of the school, division and region. Moreover, it must be conducted through a functional and integrated system guided by sets of standards, structures, processes, methodologies and tools for effective outcomes.

T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
1.2. Vision
Professional Development for all, within a culture of collaborative and continuous learning, nurtured by transformative leadership, for the achievement of educational goals
1.3.Goal
The T&D System’s goal is to establish a transforming and integrated set of operations that includes standards, structures, processes, and tools for the provision of quality professional development for educational leaders, teachers and non-teaching personnel that is functional at the regional, division and school levels.
1.4.Objectives
The objectives of the T&D System are to:1. identify priority development and learning needs of the various Human Resource through
a systematic process of competency-based needs assessment for professional development/training
2. develop needs-based Master Plans, training designs and resource packages for identified priority needs to support continuing professional development
3. conduct priority programs including post-training activities for professional development of educational leaders, school heads, teachers and non-teaching staff
4. provide the information Communication Technology (ICT) and the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) support operations through the T&D Information System (TDIS) for the T&D system at the central, regional, division and school levels.
1.5. Standards and Guiding Principles
To support the effective operations of a transformative and integrated T&D system, general standards and guiding principles are set:
Equity and Access- All educational personnel, regardless of age, gender, creed, position, and physical abilities,
have equal access to professional development - Effective strategies are utilized to increase participation and involvement of education
personnel for professional learning.- Professional development endeavours, individual or collective, result to empowerment
and improved well-being across diverse groups of clientele
Sustained culture of a learning organization - Involvement and support are maximized if both internal and external stakeholders have
shared aspirations, jointly make decisions and continuously support professional learning.- Each member of the learning community possesses a deep sense of individual
accountability for improving self and regards professional development as a way of life.
Effective and Efficient Use of Resources - Efficiency and effectiveness of the system are ensured through the proper utilization of
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System Page 2
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
resources such as financial, physical, capital and human
Collaboration- Collaboration is a built-in value with opportunities provided for educators to work
together on a regular basis.- Increased student learning as the focus of collaboration facilitates attainment of
professional development goals.- Collaborative mechanisms engage joint efforts with training and development institutions
and other educational partners for advancement programs.
Continuing and cyclical process- Professional Development to be effective is provided with sufficient ongoing follow-up
and technical assistance.- The entire cyclical process of Professional Development is informed by data and research
findings that incorporate innovations and new knowledge.
Sustained by Transformative Leadership- Professional Development is nurtured by transformative leaders who are competent and
skilful, open to change and results-oriented, and have a deep sense of integrity and accountability.
Integrative of individual and institutional development goals directed to better learners’ outcome- Decisions are driven not only by individual professional aspirations but also by the
development priorities of the school, division and region.- Professional development is always directed to learners’ quality education and welfare
bearing in mind the promotion of healthy and protective learning environment as well as fostering equality, respect for human rights, and participation of children
Quality training content and strategies- The quality of training and learning is dependent largely on relevance of training and
learning content and methodologies to intended professional development goals- The utilization of research- based content and strategies ensures effectiveness of training
in improving targeted competencies.
TDNA-Based - Professional development programs must be based on development needs of the
clientele identified through a systematic process and based on competency standards set for the profession.
ICT-enabled - An information management system is integral in the efficient delivery of a quality
professional development program.- The information management system and M&E mechanism that provide disaggregated
data, e.g. sex of its clientele are essential inputs for integrating needs and experiences in planning and development of the systems.
Quality Assured- An effective T&D system has direct connectivity to the SBM’s active quality assurance (QA)
and effective monitoring and evaluation systems to ensure that priority learning needs inform planning and that the DepED personnel in the field apply gains and benefits from
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System Page 3
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
the training.
Integrated and unified: - T&D System that operates as a unified system that integrates professional development
efforts at the central, regional, division and school levels.
1.6. The Training and Development (T&D) System and Major Components The T&D System, as presented in the Functional diagram below, is an integrated system for the provision of continuing quality professional development for in-service educational personnel. It operates as a unified system at the central, regional, division and school levels. It is envisioned that the T&D system will engage teachers, school heads, educational leaders and non-teaching personnel in the continuous conduct and progressive provision of training and development programs through various modalities. It defines the inter-relationships of the different aspects of human resource development from needs assessment, program planning, designing and resource development, and the delivery of in-service professional development programs at the regional, division (including districts or clusters), and school levels. In effect, the T&D System is a support mechanism to the central, region, division and school’s demand for quality capability building to ensure best practice and outcome in the workplace.
The T&D System is composed of four major interrelated subsystems namely: the TDNA System, the Professional Development Planning (PDP) System, Program Designing and Resource Development System (PDRD), and the Program Delivery (PDy) System. The Program Delivery (PDy) System is the main intervention that directly effects change in the knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) of the education personnel. The PDP system is responsible for the completion of the Individual Plan for Professional Development (IPPD), School Plan for Professional Development (SPPD) as well as the Master Plans for Professional Development (MPPD) of the Region and the

Division. The PDRD System generates appropriate T&D program designs and resource packages that would address the priority needs of the target personnel.
The Training and Development Needs Assessment (TDNA) system is very significant for the reason that it informs program planning, designing and resource development. It establishes a match between the trainees’ needs and the training programs to be conducted. The TDNA instruments and processes of the system are guided by the current national standards and list of competencies for various educational personnel such as the NCBTS, which articulates the essential parameters that characterize effective teaching. The system is supported by a TDNA Consolidation Database that is the repository of results of needs assessment done at the school, district/division and regional levels. It analyses uploaded data and generates reports.
The T&D System has its Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) mechanism embedded across the four subsystems. The internal M&E mechanism of the TDNA, PDP, PDRD and the PDy Systems includes specific processes and tools that support the overall goal and objectives of the entire system. The Quality Assurance scheme sees to it that the outputs at the different levels are achieved based on set standards and specifications. Moreover, the M&E results provide information on the strengths and/or weaknesses of the Training & Development System itself and of the different sub-systems to support sustainability and improvement.
The T&D System is ICT-enabled through the T&D Information System (TDIS). and can be accessed through the EBEIS (Enhanced Basic Education Information System) at http://beis.deped.gov.ph/ . The TDIS is one of the components of the Unified Integration System (UIS) that includes the enhanced BEIS and the LRMDS among others (See Attachment C). The TDIS is incorporated as a module of the enhanced BEIS, taking advantage of the BEIS personnel data, which has been represented in the HR module of BEIS. The TDIS is responsible for collecting and processing data as well as creating the databases required for the analysis of results produced by the systems. It is also responsible for storing data obtained from the Training and Development Needs Assessment (TDNA), as well as consolidation and analysis of TDNA results based on identified variables.
The TDIS maintains as well as generates reports on training programs delivered, program management, trainers, training personnel, training records, and training evaluation. It also provides access to T&D documents/materials such as professional development plans, program designs and resources packages. Professional development materials (PDMs) developed through the PDRD System are also uploaded and accessed through the Learning Resource Management Development System (LRMDS) Portal.
Section 2: The Program Designing and Resource Development (PDRD) System
The Program Designing and Resource Development (PDRD) System consists of two major components. These are Program Designing and Resource Development.
2.1. Program Designing
2.1.1. What is a Program Design?
A Program Design is a conceptual outline that provides succinct and essential information relating to a specific professional development program identified in the School Plan for Professional Development (SPPD) or in the Master Plan for Professional Development (MPPD) at the region
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System Page 5
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
and division level. It delineates the scope and general requirements of the program, i.e. its objectives, program content, duration, implementation strategy and projected cost.
2.1.2. Parts of a Program Design
A Program Design generally includes the following key information: Program title General program information such as program description, prerequisite programs,
duration, management level, delivery mode, target group and costs associated with the delivery of the program
Rationale, objectives , end of program outputs and expected outcome Program content focus which includes content matrix and activity schedule Material requirements Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Process
2.1.3. Purpose of the Program Design
The basic purpose of a Program Design is to: provide a conceptual outline for the priority professional development programs
identified in the SPPD/MPPD provide the basis for the development of an accompanying professional development
resource package serve as an executive summary of the professional development program that can be
evaluated for funding.
2.1.4. Guiding Principles for Program Designing
The PDRD-Working Group (WG) is responsible for the provision of quality program designs to support the implementation of scheduled professional development programs as outlined in the SPPD/MPPD. To ensure quality, the following guiding principles should be considered when developing program designs.
Program designs articulate the professional development goals set out in the SPPD/MPPD leading to enhanced competencies and work performance that result in improved students’ learning.
Program designs are based on findings of current research and incorporate innovative strategies and best practices leading to improved student learning.
Program designs take into consideration the specific needs of the target group and the context in which they work.
Effective professional development program designs incorporate appropriate informal structures and tools for job-embedded learning and continuing technical assistance.
Program designs are the product of collaboration between qualified and competent educators.
Program designs are user friendly, technology- enabled and cost effective. Program designs build on existing quality designs. Monitoring and evaluation of program designs make use of multiple sources of
information to guide improvement and demonstrate their quality and effectiveness.
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System Page 6
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
2.1.5. System Flow for Program Designing
The diagram (3.1) below shows how program designs are developed. At the school level, the School PDRD-WG assists the School Head in identifying program designs and materials for the training priorities as indicated in the School Plan for Professional Development (SPPD). At the Regional and Division levels, the PDRD-WG works in collaboration with experts in these levels who represent the target groups for professional capability enhancement as identified in the MPPD. Exisiting program designs and materials may be accessed from the Learning Resourse Management and Development System (LRMDS) through its portal at (http:// lrmds . deped.gov.ph / ) or from other available sources. If there are relevant program designs available then the program design is reviewed and may be simply adopted for use or modified or adapted before it is used for the intended program identified in the SPPD and MPPD. If there are no available program designs, the PDRD-WG will need to oversee the develop of one. If the PDRD-WG is not able to independently develop a new program design they may request technical assistance from external experts to develop the program design. A Training and Development Program Designing Guide and Tools has been developed to assist in this process and can be found in Section 7.1.
2.1.6. Requesting Funds
One of the purposes of a Program Design is that it serves as an executive summary of the professional development program that can then be evaluated for funding. Program Designs can be used to request funding resources for staff development at the school, division or region level.
While there are budget appropriations for human resource development made by the Department of Education, these funds are almost always insufficient to address even the top priorities indicated by analysis results at the various levels. Training and development managers

are therefore advised to collaborate with the Resource Mobilization Working Groups to develop proposals that out source funds to augment the budget requirements for the T&D activities.
2.2. Development of Training and Development Resource Packages
2.2.1. What is a Training and Development Resource Package?
A Training and Development (T&D) Resource Package is an organized compilation of the instructional program and required materials that support the delivery of a specific professional development activity. It contains the program content, the processes and the support materials that are carefully developed following the specifications indicated in its program design.
2.2.2. Parts of a T&D Resource Package
A T&D Resource Package generally contains the following:
I. General program design Information such as: title, program description, prerequisite programs, duration, management level of program, delivery mode, target personnel, rationale, objectives, end of program outputs, expected final outcomes/success indicators, and the budget requirements associated with the delivery of the program
II. The program delivery details such as: content and expected outputs, schedule matrix , learning approach and methodology, supplies/equipment/materials
III. The activity guidesIV. Handouts and support materials V. Monitoring and evaluation scheme and tools
2.2.3. Standards and Guiding Principles for the Development of a T&D Resource Package
The following standards and guiding principles should inform the development of T&D Resource Packages
a. Learner and Learning-Focused The resource package targets competency enhancement and change in practice of
professionals for improved student learning. Materials integrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) which promote the
creation of learning communities The program content and methodology support adult learning and a collaborative
learning environment. The learning process promotes continuous professional learning. The instructional program is based on the identified needs and competencies of
the target group required for a specific job.
b. Authority-based The instructional program is based on findings of current research and
incorporates innovative strategies and best practices. The resource package is a product of collaboration between qualified and
competent educators. Program materials build on existing quality programs and are based on reliable
sources
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System Page 8
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
c. Relevant content The resource materials deepen professionals’ knowledge on content, provides
them with research-based instructional and assessment strategies to enhance their competencies in improving school performance and students’ learning.
The session guides are carefully engineered learning experiences designed to develop the specified competencies of the target professionals.
The program content describes the skills or knowledge to be learned in a way that the trainee understands.
d. Job-embedded methodology/technology The strategy provides opportunity for the professionals to perform the skills or
use the knowledge under conditions closely resembling the job. The program uses technology that can be used immediately by the trainees. Materials, strategies and time allotted are adequate for professionals to learn,
practice, and apply new concepts and techniques in their current job. The methodology is interactive (i.e. it actively involves the professionals
throughout the training.) T&D Resource packages are technology enhanced and cost effective.
e. Assessment –inclusive The resource package provides materials for professionals to test themselves on
the skills and knowledge learned. The Resource package is evaluated and improved for future use
2.2.4. System Flow for Program Resource Development
As soon as the Program Design is completed, the PDRD-WG starts convening the program developers/experts to compose the working group tasked to review available training resources or to develop new ones. Available materials may be accessed from the LRMDS Portal (http:// lrmds . deped.gov.ph / ) or from other sources.
The diagram (3.2/3.3) below shows that available training resource packages may be adopted or adapted for use. If there are no available materials, and if the PDRD-WG and planners are able, they can proceed to develop the required resource package based on the specifications outlines in the program design. A Training and Development Resource Development Guide and Tools is available for use in the development of program resource packages and can be found in Section 7.2.
If necessary, a request can be made for the LRMDS personnel to develop the technical component of the resource materials based on specifications developed by the PDRD-WG. This may include an interactive format, powerpoint presentations of the content, visual enhancements and other technical elements of the resource package. Training materials are collaboratively developed if necessary by personnel fom both the T&D and LRMD systems.

Section 4:The Program Designing Critical Processes
4.1 Preliminary Activities:
There are essential preliminary tasks which need to be completed prior to commencing the actual development of the program design. Details are outlined in the Program Designing Guide and Tools(Section 7.1) that sets out the guidelines and procedures suggested for the Region, Division and Schools to follow in the development of program designs. The Guide and Tools contains the following sections:
What is a Program Design? When do we need Program Designs? Personnel involved in the Program Designing Process Guiding Principles for Program Designing The Program Designing Process Reviewing Existing Program Designs Adopting an Existing Program Design Adapting an Existing Program Design Developing New Program Designs Approval of Program Designs Quality Assurance of Program Designs and M&E of the process Future Refinement of the Program Design Attachments:
- The Program Design Template- Program Design Orientation for School Heads, PSDS and ESs- Budget Template - Monitoring and Evaluation Tools for Program Designing
The following are tasks that the PDRD-WG needs to do at the start of the program designing process:
Study the SPPD/MPPD thoroughly. Identify existing professional development Program Designs. Review existing program designs Manage adoption, adaption or creation of program designs.
4.2 Reviewing Existing Program Designs
The following steps are generally followed in reviewing existing designs: Check for restrictions regarding use of existing designs. Review the program designs thoroughly in terms of applicability and suitability Review the designs vis-à-vis the guiding principles set for program designing. Decide whether to adopt/adapt or not to use the program design
4.3 Adopting Existing Program Designs
If existing program designs are available:
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System Page 13
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
Identify the materials and equipment required to implement the program Prepare a budget that will support the program design Submit the Program Design, along with the budget to the T&D Chief/Chair.
4.4 Adapting Existing Program Design
If existing program designs need to be adapted it is suggested that the steps outlined in Section 1.5 Developing New Program Designs are followed. Information from the existing program design should be incorporated into the new program design, with the necessary adaptation made.
4.5 Developing New Program Designs
Suggested steps to support the development of new program designs using the recommended template are outlined below. Refer to details in the Training and Development Program Design Guide and Tools (Section 7.1).
Step 1a: Complete the general program information for the specific program, which is being designed.
Step 1b: Identify the program delivery mode.Step 2: Write the program rationaleStep 4: Write the objectives, the end of program output(s) and the expected final
outcomes/success indicators to be met by the programStep 4: Develop the program content focus and activity scheduleStep 5: Identify the materials required to implement the programStep 6: Develop the monitoring and evaluation processes that will support the programStep 7: Develop the line item budget
4.6 Quality Assurance and Monitoring and Evaluation for Program Designing
The M&E mechanism and tools can be found in Section 7.1. The following tools have been developed to support the monitoring and evaluation and quality assurance of the Program Designing process:
T&D-M&E Form 1: Individual Profile TemplateD-M&E Form 1: End of Program Designing EvaluationD-M&E Form 2: Program Design Review/Quality Assurance Tool
Once the Program Design has been finalized the T&D Chief/Chair reconvenes the PDRD-WG to ensure that the standards and guiding principles are evidently observed in the Program Design. The M&E tool, D-M&E Form 2- Program Design Review/Quality Assurance Tool, was developed to assist in this process.
To validate the internal review made by the PDRD-WG, the T&D Chief/Chair requests a Quality Assurance (QA) team to review the Program Design using the same tools. The QA team at the Division/Regional levels consists of members with expertise relating to the specific content of the program and with experience working with the target group identified in the program. At the school level, the School Head submits the developed program designs and resource packages to the PSDS/ES for quality assurance.
4.7 Approval of Program Designs
Once satisfied with the quality of the Program Design the T&D Chief/Chair approves its use and
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System Page 14
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
the Resource Development process commences. The Program Design can be uploaded into the TDIS and included in the LRMDS Portal.
5.0 The Resource Development Critical Processes
5.1. Preliminary Activities in Preparing the T&D Resource Package
There are preliminary activities that need to be completed prior to the start of the resource development. Details are outlined in the Training and Development Resource Development Guide and Tools (Section 7.2) that sets out the guidelines and procedures suggested for the Region, Division and Schools to follow in the development of resource packages. The Guide and Tools contains the following sections:
Training and Development Resource Packages Standards and Guiding Principles for the Development of T&D Resource Packages Personnel involved in the T&D Resource Development Process The T&D Resource Development Process Preliminary Steps in Preparing a T&D Resource Package Steps in Adopting, Adapting Existing Resource Materials or Developing a New Package Technical Enhancement of the Instructional Design of the Resource Package Quality Assurance of the Resource Package and Monitoring and Evaluation of the Process Future Refinement of the T&D Resource Package Attachment
- The T&D Resource Package Template- Monitoring and Evaluation Tools for Resource Development
The first tasks that the PDRD-WG should do are the following:
Study the Program Design together with the T&D Resource Package Template.
Review available program resource packages.
a. Ensure that there are no restrictions in place regarding their use. b. If the materials need to be reviewed, the PDRD-WG needs to do the following
review the resource materials’ applicability and suitability in relation to the program which is described in the Program Design
review the resource materials to see if they have incorporated the standards and guiding principles
c. Based on the review process, a decision is made to either: Use the existing resource package without any changes Adapt the existing resource package and align it to current program requirements Not to use the existing resource and to develop a new resource package
5.2. Adopting, Adapting Existing Resource Materials or Developing a New Package
If existing program resource package/materials need to be adapted or modified, it is suggested that the steps outlined below are followed. The same steps are recommended for the development of a new resource package for a specific program:
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System Page 15
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
Study and observe the standards and guiding principles for resource development. Study the T&D Resource Package Template. Complete the write-up of the specific program resource package which is being
developed:I. General Program Design Information: Program Title, Program Description,
Prerequisite Program, Duration, Management level of Program, Delivery Mode, Target Personnel, Rationale, Objectives, End of Program Outputs, and Expected Final Outcomes/Success Indicators, Budget Requirements associated with Program Delivery
II. Organize details of the Program Delivery: The Content and Expected Outputs, Schedule Matrix, Learning Instruction Approach and Supplies /Equipment /Materials
Develop the Activity Guides based on andragogical principles of learning Develop the handout and support materials Describe the monitoring and evaluation processes and develop tools needed for the
program Develop the Preface of the Package
5.3. Technical Enhancement of the Instructional Design of the Resource Package
The technical portions of the materials may be developed to enhance the instructional design, e.g. format and delivery. The PDRD-WG may request technical assistance from LRMD personnel or use of its facility and resources. Enhancement of the resource package may include providing an interactive format for some portions, powerpoint presentations of the lecturette, film clips, animation, visual enhancements and other technical elements of the resource package. Resource packages can be collaboratively developed, if needed, by personnel from both the T&D PDRD-WG and LRMDS.
5.4. Quality Assurance and Monitoring and Evaluation for Resource Development
The following tools have been developed for monitoring and evaluating the Resource Development:
T&D-M&E Form 1: Individual Profile TemplateRD-M&E Form 1: End of Resource Package Development EvaluationRD-M&E Form 2: Program Resource Package Review/ Quality Assurance Tool
The Matrix that describes the M&E mechanism and tools are found in the Training and Development Resource Development Guide and Tools in Section 7.2.
Once the Resource Package has been finalized the T&D Chief/Chair reconvenes the PDRD-WG to ensure that the standards and guiding principles are evidently observed in the Resource Package. The M&E tool RD-M&E Form 2: Program Resource Package Review/ Quality Assurance Tool has been developed to assist in this process.
To validate the internal review made by the PDRD-WG the T&D Chief/Chair requests a Quality Assurance (QA) team to review the Program Design/Resource Package using the same tools. The QA team at the Division/Regional levels composed of members with expertise relating to the specific content of the program and with experience working with the target group identified in the program. At the school level, the School Head submits the developed program designs and resource packages to the PSDS/ES for quality assurance.
Once satisfied with the quality of the Resource Package, the T&D Chief/Chair approves its use and authorize the delivery of the program.
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System Page 16
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
5.5.Future Refinement of the T&D Resource Package
Following the initial implementation of the program, the PDRD-WG reconvenes to review the M&E reports relating to the resource package and its use during the actual delivery of the program. Based on the M&E results, the resource package is adjusted and further refined to enhance its quality. The T&D office is responsible in uploading the Resource Package to the LRMDS Portal so it can be easily located for future reference and shared with others. This will be coordinated with the Division /Regional LRMDS team. A copy of the Resource Package should also be kept on the TDIS.
6.0 Monitoring and Evaluation and Quality Assurance of the PDRD System
It is the responsibility of the PDRD-WG to complete the M&E and QA processes that are associated with the development of program designs and resource packages. The PDRD-WG will be expected to report on their findings and to incorporate any recommendations for improvement into future processes. M&E Tools have been developed for this process.
The M&E and QA for the PDRD System is shown in the diagram (3.4) above. The systems flow is the same as that in the M&E for the other subsystems of Training and Development and is followed at the division and at the regional levels. Basically, the members of the PDRD-WG responsible for the M&E prepares the resources they need for the task, then implements its M&E Plan as scheduled. The nature of the task is to ensure the compliance of the implementers monitored to the standards set for program designing and resource development activities for the various clientele. Part of the M&E task is to review the quality of the program designs and the resource packages that have been produced and another group is convened by the T&D Chief/Chair to review the quality of the plans based on standards set for professional development plans. Results are recorded, reports prepared and submitted to the T&D Office for uploading in the TDIS.

Developing Training and Development Program Designs
To support the provision of effective professional development it is necessary to have quality Program Designs. This document aims to outline the process for reviewing existing Program Designs to assess their appropriateness for supporting the provision of professional development activities. It also outlines the process for developing new Program Designs.
What is a Program Design?
A Program Design is a conceptual outline that provides succinct and essential information for a specific professional development program. It delineates the scope and general requirements of the program, i.e. its objectives, program content, duration, implementation strategy and projected cost.
Section 7.1: The T&D Program Designing Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 24
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
A Program Design generally includes the following key information: Program Title General program information such as Program Description, Prerequisite
Program, Duration, Management Level, Target group , Budget Requirements Rationale, Objectives and Competencies on focus Program Content Focus which includes content matrix and activity schedule Material Requirements M&E Process Costs associated with the delivery of the program
There are three basic purposes of the Program Design. These are to: provide a conceptual outline for the priority professional development
programs identified in the SPPD/MPPD provide the basis for the development of an accompanying professional
development resource package serve as an executive summary of the professional development program
that can be evaluated for funding.
When do we need Program Designs?
Program Designs are required whenever there is a plan to conduct a professional development activity. The call for program designs is generally triggered by the approval of School Plan for Professional Development (SPPD) at the school level and Master Plans for Professional Development (MPPD) at the region and division levels. The SPPD/MPPD identifies the specific programs which are to be implemented and are the basis on which Program Designs are identified or developed. The SPPD/MPPD also sets out the timeline for the implementation of specific programs. Once the SPPD/MPPD has been approved, the process for identifying and reviewing existing Program Designs or developing new Program Designs should commence in line with the established timeline for implementation.
Personnel involved in the Program Designing process
Regional Level
At the regional level, the T&D Chief is responsible for overseeing the Program Designing process. The T&D Chief needs to be familiar with the Regional MPPD and be aware of the programs, which are to be implemented, and the proposed timeline. In as much as the programs identified in the MPPD vary in terms of the target groups, its content and its methodology, the T&D Chief has to recommend the formation of different Program Design and Resource Development Working Groups (PDRD-WGs) in accordance with the requirements of the specific program.
It is expected that the membership of the PDRD-WG would consist of people who have experience in program designing, working with the specific target group, and relevant content expertise. Technical assistance from the central office or other teacher training institutions may be sought to support the work of the PDRD-WG. Additional members
Section 7.1: The T&D Program Designing Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 25
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
of the PDRD-WG may be required at various stages of the program designing process to support specific activities such as the development of the budget and identifying monitoring and evaluation processes.
For program designs, which may need technical expertise outside of DepED, a decision may be made to out-source the process to a Service Provider. This will be dependent on budget availability and would need approval from the appropriate authorities. If out-sourced, the Service Provider would be expected to use the processes outlined in this document and the provided template for Program Designs.
When establishing a PDRD-WG, the T&D Chief should use the following criteria in recommending the program designers: PDRD-WG members should:
have at least three years experience in their field of expertise have at least a Very Satisfactory (VS) performance rating for each of the
last three years have knowledge and expertise in the content area related to the program
to be designed have knowledge of the target group which is the focus of the program
design have experience in program designing ( e.g. developing plans for
professional development) have highly developed writing skills preferably computer literate
It is important to make sure that some members of the PDRD-WG are computer literate so the program design can be produced electronically using the Program Designing Template found in Attachment 1
The T&D Chief is responsible in recommending to the Regional Director the formation of the PDRD-WG and to seek the necessary memorandum to activate the group.
The T&D Chief also oversees the monitoring and evaluation of the program design process. This involves monitoring and evaluation of the Program Design teams and the processes followed, and the quality assurance of the completed program designs
Division Level
Similar PDRD-WGs are established and activated at the division level under the leadership and direction of the T&D Chair following approval from the Schools Division Superintendent (SDS).
The Division T&D Team is also responsible in providing orientation and technical assistance to the ES/PSDS and Cluster Leads School Heads for program designing at the school level. A two-day orientation program is recommended with structured sessions guided by andragogical principles of learning. A sample of a two-day program is found in Attachment 2.
School Level
The School Head will determine the capability of the school to manage the program
Section 7.1: The T&D Program Designing Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 26
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
designing process. It is important that the school has Program Designers who possess the required criteria for the task. If the school is able, the School Head, with technical support from the ES/PSDS, will lead in the process of developing the program designs for the identified programs in the SPPD. However, if the school does not have the capability to develop the required program designs, it may request external expertise. The ES/PSDS is responsible in providing technical assistance and the monitoring and evaluation of the designing process.
Guiding Principles for Program Designing
The PDRD-WG is responsible for the provision of high quality program designs to support the implementation of scheduled professional development programs as outlined in the SPPD/MPPD. To ensure quality, the following guiding principles should be considered in the process of designing professional development programs.
Program designs articulate the professional development goals set out in the SPPD/MPPD leading to enhanced competencies and work performance that result in improved students’ learning.
Program designs are based on findings of current research and incorporate innovative strategies and best practices leading to improved student learning.
Program designs take into consideration the specific needs of the target group and the context in which they work.
Effective professional development program designs incorporate appropriate informal structures and tools for job-embedded learning and continuing technical assistance.
Program designs are the product of collaboration between qualified and competent educators.
Program designs are user friendly, technology- enabled and cost effective. Program designs build on existing quality designs. Monitoring and evaluation of program designs make use of multiple sources
of information to guide improvement and demonstrate their quality and effectiveness.
The Program Designing Process
With the guiding principles in mind, the PDRD-WG is responsible for providing a program design for a specific program as directed by the T&D Chief/ Chair/School Head. The following are essential preliminary tasks which need to be completed prior to commencing the actual development of the program design:
1. Study the SPPD/MPPD thoroughly.
The PDRD-WG is to carefully study the relevant sections of the SPPD/MPPD to familiarize themselves with the objectives and the competencies of the specific program that is to be enhanced by the program design. The details provided in the SPPD/MPPD will form the basis for the program design.
2. Identify existing professional development Program Designs.
Section 7.1: The T&D Program Designing Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 27
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
One of the guiding principles in the program designing processes is that program designs should build on existing quality designs. It will therefore be important for the PDRD-WG to identify existing designs, which may support the implementation of the professional development program. Known existing designs may have been identified in the SPPD/MPPD. The PDRD-WG members may also be aware of similar or related program designs that can be availed for the purpose of the program being designed. Sources of program designs include those that have been developed by DepED, TEIs, NGOs, Foreign Funded Projects and other service providers. An additional source of existing designs is the Portal of the Learning Resource Materials Development System (LRMDS). This contains a web-based databank of available professional development materials and can be accessed at http:// lrmds . deped.gov.ph /
3. Review existing program designs
If existing program designs are available, the PDRD-WG reviews the designs and decides on their usefulness in line with the requirement of the specific program design. The process for reviewing these materials is outlined in the section on Reviewing Existing Program Designs. This process includes checking the conditions associated with their use to ensure that DepED has permission to use and reproduce them.
4. Manage development of new program designs.
If no existing program designs are available, it is the PDRD-WG’s responsibility to manage the development of a new program design. This requires the PDRD-WG to follow the process outlined in the section Developing New Program Designs.
Reviewing Existing Program Designs
The following steps are generally followed in reviewing existing program designs:1. Before closely examining any existing program designs, it is necessary to
ensure that there are no restrictions in place regarding their use. It is important to check the copyright details associated with the designs to make sure DepED is able to use and reproduce them if required. If restrictions apply and the Department cannot readily utilize the program design, it may not be feasible to consider the design
2. If existing program designs are available and can be used by DepED, then the PDRD-WG needs to review the program designs before making a decision in terms of their applicability and suitability in relation to the program which is described in the SPPD/MPPD. The PDRD-WG will need to:
compare what is describe in the SPPD/MPPD and what is outlined in the existing program design under review,
review the program designs to see if it has incorporated the guiding principles which inform program designs, and
make a decision as to whether the existing program design can be utilized and if so the level of modification that would be required.
The review should focus on similarities and relevance of the existing program designs to the program identified in the SPPD/MPPD in terms of:
Section 7.1: The T&D Program Designing Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 28
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
Program Objectives Competencies to be enhanced Target Group Management Level Program Description Mode of Delivery Content (F3 and JEL) M&E Processes
3. Based on the review process, a decision is made to either:
adopt the existing program design without any changes adapt the existing program design to align it to current program
requirements ; or develop a new program design
Adopting an Existing Program Design
If an existing program design is available and found to be suitable for a program identified in the SPPD/MPPD without requiring any changes, then the PDRD-WG needs to:
identify the materials and equipment required to implement the program prepare a budget that will support the program design in line with the program
specification and appropriated budget indicated in the SPPD/MPPD. A template for the budget has been developed and can be found as Attachment 3; and
submit the Program Design, along with the budget to the T&D Chief/Chair.
Adapting an Existing Program Design
If an existing program design needs to be adapted, it is suggested that the steps outlined in the section on Developing New Program Designs are followed. Information from the existing program design should be incorporated into the new program design and the necessary adaptation made.
Developing New Program Designs
The development of any new program design would take into consideration the guiding principles for program designing as described in the preceding section. A template has been developed that identifies the key elements expected to be included in a program design and can be found in the Attachment 1. This template should be completed electronically and used as a guide in providing the needed information to develop a program design.
In the course of the designing process, consideration should be given to the current allocation of funds to support the program as identified in the SPPD/MPPD. Program designs should aim to stay within the existing budget. Suggested steps to support the development of new program designs using the
Section 7.1: The T&D Program Designing Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 29
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
recommended template are outlined below.
Step 1a: Complete the general program information for the specific program which is being designed.
Complete the general program information required on the Program Design template. The majority of information required in this section can be taken directly from the SPPD/MPPD.
Step 1b. Identify the Program Delivery Mode.
In identifying the program delivery mode, two major components of the program are considered. The first is the Formal Face-to-Face (F3) training and the other is the Job-Embedded Learning (JEL).Various types of delivery modes may be considered for the F3 component. They could be a short-term or long term face-to-face training cum workshops, or levelled training with Training of Trainers (TOT) as the first level and cluster training as the second level.
The JEL is the training component that takes place in the workplace of the trainees. It is a structured system, with a set of procedures and accompanying tools, which supports the trainee’s further training in the real work setting. It is focused on trying out new learning that could be integrated into the trainee’s practice of work. The delivery mode may use learning strategies such as mentoring or coaching, hands-on practice with supervision, demonstration-observation, structured professional reading or internet surfing, learning circles, consultation, dialogue and other job-embedded learning modes that maximizing learning opportunities of trainees while at the same time sustaining quality and effectiveness of program delivery. The JEL is discussed in more detail as an integral part of the professional development program in Volume 5, Operations Manual for the T&D Delivery System.
Step 2: Write the program rationale
State the reason why the program is being developed. Relate the rationale to the goal of the SPPD/MPPD.
Step 3: Write the objectives, the end of program output(s) and the expected final outcomes/success indicators to be met by the program
This section can be taken directly from the SPPD/MPPD and should relate to the domains/service areas, strands and performance indicators.
Step 4: Develop the Program Content Focus and Activity Schedule
In developing the content focus, substantial description of the program is provided. The focus or scope of the program content and objectives are plotted in a matrix based on the KSAs prioritized. Suggested activities are identified and the duration of each activity provided. In completing the content matrix, provide sufficient details so that the resource developers have a very clear and concise picture of what is expected to be achieved.
The content matrix also incorporates the expected output as a result of enhancement
Section 7.1: The T&D Program Designing Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 30
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
of the KSAs. These outputs may be instruments, tools, checklists or action plans that will help the trainee in any specific follow up activities which are to be completed in the work place. These outputs are to be utilized as an essential part of the JEL program to support the incorporation of new learning into work practices.

The next step is to develop a general activity schedule that outlines how the whole program will be spread through the identified duration of the program. Tentative titles of activities may be assigned to a particular schedule. Usually, this activity schedule is a required section of a training proposal to be funded.
The details of the program content and activity schedule are dependent on the mode of delivery chosen and will be developed further during the resource development phase. For example if the program is to be delivered through a workshop, a day-to-day schedule showing the activity sequence and duration of sessions will be provided. However, if the mode of delivery is through a coaching program, there is a need to identify the number of coaching sessions and corresponding time requirements, the expected focus during specific sessions and in-between sessions, and the duration over which the coaching sessions would take place.
All the support resources that are required for the successful implementation of the program e.g. session guides, handouts, readings, PowerPoint presentations, are developed as part of the development of the resource packages process described in a separated document entitled the Training and Development Resource Development Goal and Tools. The T&D Chief/Chair will be responsible for managing the development of resource packages and is encouraged to utilize the services provided by the LRMD Instructional Design Team to assist with the development and production of the resources.
Step 5: Identify the materials required to implement the program
Section 7.1: The T&D Program Designing Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 31
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
Make a basic list of all the supplies and materials that will be required in order for the program to be successfully implemented. This includes the materials and equipment required to facilitate all activities (e.g. LCD, manila paper, markers, whiteboard, etc) as well as those needed by the target participants (folder, notebook, pen).
Step 6: Develop the monitoring and evaluation processes that will support the program
Monitoring and evaluation processes are identified as part of the program design to ensure quality professional development programs are provided. In this section, describe the M&E processes that are to be conducted as part of the program implementation. Identify the specific M&E tools that should be developed e.g. Participants review of program, Facilitators review of program, M&E report on the program.
Step 7: Develop the Line Item Budget
All costs associated with the implementation of the program need to be identified. An initial budget estimate was included in the SPPD/MPPD, but now that the final program design is being developed, it is necessary to review the budget and ensure that projected costs of all program activities are included. A template for the budget has been developed and can be found as Attachment 3. If the program design requires funds above those allocated in the SPPD/MPPD, it should be clearly indicated in the Budget Requirements section of the Identifying Information and recommendations made as to how the additional funds are to be sourced.
Quality Assurance and M&E of Program Designs
It is important that the program design is reviewed by the PDRD-WG to ensure that it is aligned with the SPPD/MPPD and that all the necessary information is provided to support the successful development of the training and development resource package. The PDRD-WG uses D-M&E Form 2: Program Design Review/Quality Assurance Tool for this internal review process. Once the PDRD-WG is satisfied with the quality of the program design, all members should sign the program design indicating the PDRD-WGs endorsement.
The Program Design is then submitted to the T&D Chief/Chair. The T&D Chief/Chair is responsible for reviewing the Program Design to ensure quality of the program design. To assist in the review process, the T&D Chief/Chair needs to establish a Quality Assurance (QA) team to review the program design. The QA team at the Region and Division level consists of members from within the RO or DO or from other agencies such as the TEIs who have expertise relating to the specific content of the program design and experience working with the target group identified in the program design. At the school level, the School Head submits the developed program designs to the PSDS/ES for quality assurance. The same tool used in the internal review process will be utilized to assist in the QA process.
If the QA results indicate that the program design is lacking in some essential elements or requires further refinement, the PDRD-WG is asked to further enhance the program design.
Section 7.1: The T&D Program Designing Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 32
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
The following tools have been developed to support the monitoring and evaluation and quality assurance of the Program Designing process:
T&D-M&E Form 1: Individual Profile TemplateD-M&E Form 1: End of Program Designing EvaluationD-M&E Form 2: Program Design Review/Quality Assurance Tool
The Matrix that describes the M&E mechanism and tools can be found in Attachment 4
Approval of Program Designs
After the Program Designs had been quality assured, those that were developed at the School level are endorsed by the School Heads to the Schools Division Superintendent thru the Division PDRD-WG for approval to proceed with its implementation and to justify the use of the school MOOE funds. The Division PDRD-WG secures copies of school-developed program designs for uploading onto the TDIS. Quality program designs may also be recommended for inclusion onto the LRMDS Portal. At the Division level, program designs are endorsed by the Division PDRD-WG to the SDS through the Division T&D Chair for certification as to the availability of funds and approval to implement. Moreover, copies of program designs are uploaded onto the TDIS and to the LRMDS Portal. At the regional level, the PDRD-WG endorses the Program Design to the Regional T&D Chief who will submit this to the Regional Director for funding and approval. All approved program designs are to be properly endorsed for inclusion in the TDIS and in the LRMDS Portal.
Future Refinement of a Program Design
Following the initial implementation of the program, the PDRD-WG teams responsible for the development of the Program Design and the Resource Package are reconvened to review the M&E reports relating to the program. Based on the M&E results, the Program Design and the Training and Development Resource Package are adjusted and further refined to enhance its quality.
A final responsibility of the T&D Chief at the regional level and the T&D Chair at the division level is to ensure that the approved and refined Program Designs and Professional Development Resource Packages are included on the TDIS and in the LRMDS Portal. In this way, they can be easily located and accessed for future reference and shared with others.

Training & Development Resource Packages
Training and Development (T&D) Resource Development involves the preparation of resource packages. A T&D Resource Package is an organized compilation of the instructional program and required materials that support the delivery of a specific professional development activity. It contains the program content, the processes and the support materials that are carefully developed following the specifications indicated in its program design.
A T&D Resource Package generally contains the following:I. General Program Design Information such as: title, description,
prerequisite programs, duration, management level of program, delivery mode, target personnel, rationale, objectives, end of program outputs, expected final outcomes/success indicators
II. The Program Delivery details such as: content and expected outputs, schedule matrix , learning approach and methodology, supplies/equipment/materials
III. The Activity GuidesIV. Handouts, Readings and PowerPointsV. Monitoring and Evaluation Scheme and Tools
Standards and Guiding Principles for the Development of a T&D Resource Package
The following standards and guiding principles have been developed to inform the resource development process:
a. Learner and Learning-Focused The resource package targets competency enhancement and change in
practice of professionals for improved student learning. Materials integrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) which
promote the creation of learning communities The program content and methodology support adult learning and a
collaborative learning environment. The learning process promotes continuous professional learning. The instructional program is based on the identified needs and
competencies of the target group required for a specific job.
b. Authority-based The instructional program is based on findings of current research and
incorporates innovative strategies and best practices. The resource package is a product of collaboration between qualified
and competent educators. Program materials build on existing quality programs and are based on
reliable sources
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 62
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
c. Relevant content The resource materials deepen professionals’ knowledge on content,
provides them with research-based instructional and assessment strategies to enhance their competencies in improving school performance and students’ learning.
The session guides are carefully engineered learning experiences designed to develop the specified competencies of the target professionals.
The program content describes the skills or knowledge to be learned in a way that the trainee understands.
d. Job-embedded methodology/technology The strategy provides opportunity for the professionals to perform the
skills or use the knowledge under conditions closely resembling the job. The program uses technology that can be used immediately by the
trainees. Materials, strategies and time allotted are adequate for professionals to
learn, practice, and apply new concepts and techniques in their current job.
The methodology is interactive (i.e. it actively involves the professionals throughout the training.)
T&D Resource packages are technology enhanced and cost effective.
e. Assessment –inclusive The resource package provides materials for professionals to test
themselves on the skills and knowledge learned. The Resource package is evaluated and improved for future use
Personnel involved in the T&D Resource Development Process
The Resource Development process is usually done by the PDRD-WG. The membership of the PDRD-WG will vary depending on specific resource requirements and include an expanded pool of master teachers or experts who will be needed to develop more specialized or technical materials for the resource package identified.
The PDRD-WG members are selected in line with the following criteria: knowledge and expertise in the content area related to the resource
package to be developed adequate knowledge of the target group which is the focus of the resource
package experience in resource development ( e.g. session guide development,
module writing) highly developed writing skills at least three years experience in their field of expertise at least a Very Satisfactory (VS) performance rating for each of the last
three years preferably computer literate
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 63
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
Technical assistance from educational experts within the cluster, the district/division, the regional or from other sources e.g. TEIs, may be sought to support the work of the PDRD-WG at the different levels. Resource persons or on-call consultants may be required to support highly specialized content areas. The PDRD-WG is responsible for overseeing the monitoring and evaluation of the resource development and the QA Team is responsible for assuring the quality of the completed program resource packages.
The T&D Resource Development Process
As soon as the Program Design is completed, the PDRD-WG will need to make a decision about who will be responsible for the development of the resource package. In making this decision the PDRD-WG would need to take into consideration as the following:
the nature of the program design and the level of complexity required to develop the resource. For example at the school level, some programs such as those designed for a LAC session may require the development of a less complex resource package, while others such as a face-to-face training program may require the development of an extensive resource package.
the availability of experts to develop the program. For example, some schools may have existing expertise to develop a specific resource package among their current staff, while others may not depending on the nature of the program.
the time which will be required to develop the resource package. For example, the development of resource packages by staff at the school level should not adversely affect the teachers’ prime responsibility of teaching.
If the PDRD-WG believes that it can manage the development of the resource package then this group will be tasked to review available training resources for adoption/adaptation or to develop new ones. Available materials may be accessed from the LRMDS Portal http:// lrmds . deped.gov.ph / or from other sources such as the internet.
The available training resource packages may be adopted or adapted for use depending on their suitability. If there are no available materials, the PDRD-WG can proceed to develop the required resource package as specified by the program design. A set of guidelines and template found in the following section may be used to support the development of program resource packages.
If necessary, a request can be made for the LRMDS to develop the technical component of the resource materials based on specifications developed by the PDRD-WG. This may include an interactive format, powerpoint presentations of the content, visual enhancements and other technical elements of the resource package. Resource Packages can be collaboratively developed, if needed, by personnel from both the T&D and LRMD systems.
If the PDRD-WG feels to the need for assistance in the management and development of the resource package then a request, through the SH/SDS/RD, may be made for
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 64
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
external support. For example, assistance at the school level may be sought from the cluster, district, division, region or from a service provider.
Preliminary Steps in Preparing a T&D Resource Package
1. Study the Program Design together with the T&D Resource Package Template. The PDRD-WG carefully studies the Program Design and the elements required by the T&D Resource Package Template (see Attachment 1) to examine and familiarize themselves with the specifications that should guide the search for, or development of, the needed resource package. It is important to define the program scope particularly the Content Matrix indicating the knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) that are the focus for the particular program.
The specifications detailed in the Program Design should be considered flexible enough to incorporate any significant new ideas recommended by experts/resource persons who have been invited to provide technical assistance for the resource development.
2. Review available program resource packages.
a. Before closely examining any existing program resource, it is necessary to ensure that there are no restrictions in place regarding its use. It is important to check the copyright details associated with the materials to make sure DepED is able to use and reproduce it if required. If restrictions apply for DepED to utilize the program resource materials, it may not be feasible to consider the resource.
b. If existing program resources are available and can be used by DepED, then the PDRD-WG will need to make a decision as to the suitability of the materials for the intended program. In reviewing the materials the PDRD-WG needs to:
Compare what is described in the program design with what is outlined in the existing resource material under review. Make a decision in terms of their applicability and suitability of the resource material and whether it can be utilized.
If the resource material appears to be suitable, examine it further to see if it incorporates the standards and guiding principles which should be evident in program resources. The M&E tool, RD-M&E Form 2: Program Resource Package Review/Quality Assurance Tool should assist in this process.
c. Based on the review process, a decision is made to either:
Adopt the existing resource package without any changes Adapt the existing resource package and align it to current program
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 65
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
requirements Not to use the existing resource and to develop a new resource
package
Steps in Adopting, Adapting Existing Resource Materials or Developing a New Resource Package
If an existing resource package is considered suitable of adoption without requiring any further modifications, then the PDRD-WG should
review the materials and equipment required to implement the program prepare a budget that will support the program delivery in line with the
program specification and appropriated budget indicated in the program design. A template for the budget has been developed and can be found as Attachment 1; and
submit the Resource Package, along with the budget to the T&D Chief/Chair for approval prior to its delivery.
If existing program resource package/materials need to be adapted or modified, it is suggested that the steps outlined below are followed. Content from the existing program can be incorporated where appropriate. The same steps are recommended for the development of a new resource package for a specific program.
1. Study and observe the standards and guiding principles. There are set standards and guiding principles for the development of a new program resource package found at the beginning of this guide. Make sure that these standards are met and that the principles are observed in the materials that will be developed.
2. Study the T&D Resource Package Template.Examine the required information and the key elements expected to be included in the Resource Package Template found in Attachment 1. An e-version of the template should be used by the PDRD-WG when developing the resource package and guide the process.
3. Complete the write-up of the specific program resource package which is being developed:
3.1. Write the required General Program Information.
The General Program Information is the same as that in the first section of the Program Design. This contains the Title, Program Description, Prerequisite Program, if any, Duration, Management Level of the Program, Delivery Mode, Target Personnel, Budget Requirements, Rationale, Objectives, End of Program Outputs and Expected Final Outcomes/Success Indicators.
This may be copied en toto and pasted in the required section of the Resource Development Template. There may be some minor refinements made in the course of the development process that need to
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 66
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
be adjusted.
3.2. Organize the Detailed Program Content and Expected Outputs Matrix
The scope of the Program Design e.g. the Content Matrix is used as the primary reference for the development of this section. This section calls for a sequentially organized conceptualization of the sessions or activities to be conducted and the corresponding specific objectives, subject matter content, duration of activity, expected outputs and resource materials that will support the delivery of each activity/session. This will become the basis of the development of session or activity guides for the program.
3.3. Finalize the Program Schedule Matrix
Review the Activity Schedule found in the Program Design. This time, organize the activity/session titles (as identified in Program Content and Expected Outputs matrix developed in step #3.2) across the matrix. The Program Schedule Matrix guides the facilitators for the time management of the program delivery. The time allotment controls the volume of content that is developed for each session, or vice-versa.
3.4. Describe the instructional approach to be used for the program and on which the resource package is developed with consideration of the following:
3.4.1. Describe the general learning approach and methodology that is used for the program with consideration of the Formal Face-to-Face (F3) and the Job-embedded Learning (JEL) components. The andragogical or adult learning approach, for instance, is widely used for professional development training. The principles of adult learning are used to get intended results for competency-based professional development. The learning principles of constructivism may also be considered in identified professional development activities where these are appropriately used. (See section #4 below for the principles for andragogical and constructivist learning.)
3.5. List the required supplies and materials
There is an initial list of supplies and materials needed to conduct the training found in the Program Design. This may be reviewed and finalized in this section. The list should includes the materials and equipment required to facilitate all sessions (e.g. LCD, manila paper, markers, whiteboard, etc) as well as those needed by the target participants (IDs, training kit, folder, notebook, and pen).
4. Develop the Activity Guides based on andragogical and constructivist principles.
4.1. Activity Guide Templates for Formal Face-to-Face (F3) training and Job-embedded Learning (JEL) are suggested in Attachment 1 of this guide.
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 67
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
Generally, the strategies follow the learning approach, which uses the andragogical and constructivist principles of learning.
4.1.1. Andragogy initially defined as "the art and science of helping adults learn," can be traced back to Alexander Kapp, a German grammar teacher who used it to describe Plato’s educational theory in 1833. Malcolm Knowles heard about the term and in 1968 and used it in an article on “Adult Leadership”. Since then, Knowles has become known as the principal expert on andragogy. The term andragogy has taken on a broader meaning since Knowles' first edition. The term currently defines an alternative to pedagogy and refers to learner-focused education for people of all ages. The six assumptions of andragogy as explained in the book, The Adult Learner by Knowles, Holton III, and Swanson published in 1998 are:
Adults need to know why they should learn something. Adults’ self-concept projects new patterns of learning where
they become self-directed, taking responsibility for their own learning and the direction it takes.
Adults have a lifetime of experience and they want to use what they know and want to be acknowledged for having that knowledge.
Adults become ready to learn something when they experience a need to learn it in order to cope more satisfyingly with real-life tasks or problems.
Adults are life, task or problem-centered in their orientation to learning.
Internal rather than external motivation for learning are more important such as increased job satisfaction, self-esteem and quality of life.
4.1.2 Constructivist learning theory says that all knowledge is constructed from a base of prior knowledge. Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world we live in. Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use to make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences.
Below are seven of the principles of constructivism that may be used to guide Trainers/Mentors in engaging adult learners to participate in active learning:
Encourage and accept learners’ autonomy and initiative. Use raw data and primary sources for learning, e.g. student
test results, lesson plans, examination papers, lesson guides, school improvement plans.
For cognitive-based learning, use terms such as classify, analyze, predict, and create.
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 68
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
Use learner responses to build lesson concepts, change instructional strategies, and modify content.
Encourage learners to engage in dialogue, both with the Trainer/Mentor and with other learners.
Encourage learner inquiry by allowing them to ask thoughtful, open-ended questions and to ask questions to each other.
Seek elaboration of learner’s initial responses.
4.2. The session guides for the F3 component of the training could be developed to include the following elements: 4.2.1. Identifying Information: Session Title, Duration, Key
Understandings, Objectives, and Resources needed for the session.
4.2.2. The body of the session guide contains the suggested conduct of the activities using the 4A’s: Activity, Analysis, Abstraction and Application.
Introductory Activity: This part introduces the session content. Although at times optional, it is usually included to serve as a warm-up activity to give the learners/participants zest for the incoming session and an idea about what it to follow. One principle in learning is that learning occurs when it is conducted in a pleasurable and comfortable atmosphere.
Activity: This is an interactive strategy to elicit adults’ prior learning experience. It serves as a springboard for new learning. It illustrates the principle that learning starts where the learners are. Carefully structured activities such as individual or group reflective exercises, group discussion, self-or group assessment, dyadic or triadic interactions, puzzles, simulations or role-play, cybernetics exercise, gallery walk and the like may be created. Clear instructions should be considered in this part of the session.
Analysis: Essential questions are included to serve as a guide for the facilitator in clarifying key understandings about the topic at hand. Critical points are organized to structure the discussions allowing the trainees to maximize interactions and sharing of ideas and opinions about expected issues. Affective questions are included to elicit the feelings of the learners about the activity or the topic. The last questions or points taken should lead the trainees to understand the new concepts or skills that are to be presented in the next part of the session.
Abstraction: This outlines the key concepts, important skills that should be enhanced, the proper attitude that should be emphasized, and ways to improve one’s professional competencies. This is organized as a lecturette that summarizes the learning emphasized from the activity, analysis and new inputs in this part of the session.
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 69
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
Application: This part is structured to ensure the commitment of the trainees to do something to apply their new learning in their own environment. Teachers, for instance, may create a learning structure for trying out a new teaching strategy. For School Heads, a plan to start a specific action where application of new learning is demonstrated.
Concluding Activity: This is usually a brief but affective closing activity such as a strong quotation, a short song, an anecdote, parable or a letter that inspires the participants to do something to practice their new learning.
4.3. A Job-embedded Learning (JEL) Contract Template is included as a part of the Resource package. It is a guide for the trainee to outline his/her plans to further implement learning activities in the workplace after a professional development activity. The contract contains the objectives, activities, timeframe; contact time required with the trainee’s JEL Team, resources needed, and the accomplishments and means of verifying outputs. This contract is accomplished by the trainee at the end of the F3 and/or in collaboration with a JEL Adviser. The JEL Adviser is generally a designated trainer of the F3 program and/or the trainee’s immediate supervisor and takes responsibility for supporting the trainees in the implementation of the JEL contract.
The JEL basically flows through six stages: 1. Plan Confirmation with JEL Team2. Implementation of specific JEL activities3. Reflection of accomplishments4. Enhancement of identified KSAs with difficulties5. Internalization for a job-embedded practice6. Sharing best practice with others
Further details on JEL can be found in the T&D Systems Operations Manual Volume 5: The Program Delivery System.
4.4 The duration for each section of the session is included in the activity/session guide.
4.5 Notes are provided for the facilitator, whenever needed, at any part of the session guide.
5. Develop Handouts and Support Materials
This portion is organized as a complete set of materials required for the conduct of the program. It includes the development of required handouts for the trainee’s further study of the session content. The
handouts should be based on the salient points discussed in the Abstraction part of the session.
templates to support the actually delivery of specific activities during the sessions
Powerpoint presentations to support the delivery of the sessions.
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 70
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
5.1. For new materials developed, the write-up must be properly documented, i.e. sources or references are acknowledged and quotations lifted are properly cited. If the whole material is used, the author must be written right after the title of the material, including the source.
5.2. Organize the handouts/templates in the order that they are to be used in the sessions.
6. Describe the monitoring and evaluation processes and prepare the tools that are applicable to the program
Monitoring and evaluation processes ensure that quality professional development programs are provided. In this section, describe the M&E processes that are conducted as part of the program.
6.1. Identify and prepare the specific M&E tools that should be used e.g. Participants’ review of program, Facilitators’ review of program, M&E report on the program.
6.2. Provide templates for summarizing results and reporting M&E results.
7. Develop the Line Item Budget
All costs associated with the implementation of the program need to be identified. An initial budget estimate was included in the Program Design, but now that the Resource Package is developed, it is necessary to review the budget and ensure that projected costs of all program activities are included. A template for the budget was developed and can be found as Attachment 1. The budget should remain within the allocated and approved funds. If the costs are above the budget allocation it should be clearly indicated in the Budget Requirements section of the Identifying Information and recommendations made as to how the additional funds are to be sourced.
8. Develop the Preface of the Package
A preface narrates elements of the resource package such as the purpose of the package and provides an overview of the information it contains. It may also contain information relating to the project that supported its development, an explanation of the perceived users, and an acknowledgment of those who contributed to the development of the resource package. The following may guide the writing of the preface:
The primary purpose of the resource package is usually written in fewer than 50 words. This is a description why the package was written not just what it is about, but why it matters.
A brief paragraph to explain the beginnings of the resource development. This could be an opportunity to further present the usefulness of the package.
Section 7.2: The T&D Resource Development Guide and Tools – for Region, Division and School Levels Page 71
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 4: The PDRD System
An outline of the organization of the resource package. This part points out how the different sections would be used and their significance to the program.
A discussion of sources and how they were used in this package. An acknowledgment to those who significantly provided assistance,
inspiration, and invaluable contributions in the course of the development of the package.
Technical Enhancement of the Instructional Design of the Resource Package
The technical portions of the materials may be developed to enhance the instructional design, e.g. format and delivery. The PDRD-WG may request technical assistance from personnel from the LRMDS or use of its facility and resources. Enhancement of the resource package may include providing an interactive format for some portions, powerpoint presentations of the lecturette, film clips, animation, visual enhancements and other technical elements of the resource package. Resource packages can be collaboratively developed, if needed, by personnel from both the T&D and LRMD Systems.
Quality Assurance of the Resource Package and Monitoring and Evaluation of the process
It is the responsibility of the PDRD-WG of the school/division/region to ensure the quality of the Resource Package. The PDRD-WG use RD-M&E Form 2 Program Resource Package Review Quality Assurance Tool for this internal review process. Once the PDRD-WG is satisfied with the quality of the program resource package, all members should sign the resource package indicating their endorsement of the package.
The Resource Package is then submitted to the T&D Chief/Chair. The T&D Chief/Chair is responsible for reviewing the Resource Package to ensure its quality. To assist in the review process, the T&D Chief/Chair needs to establish a Quality Assurance (QA) team to review the resource package. The QA team at the Region and Division level consists of members from within the RO or DO or from other agencies such as the TEIs who have expertise relating to the specific content of the package and experience working with the target group identified in the program content. At the school level, the School Head submits the developed resource package to the PSDS/ES for quality assurance The RD-M&E-Form 2, Program Resource Package Review Quality Assurance Tool is used to assist in the QA process.
If the QA results indicate that the resource package is lacking in some essential elements or requires further refinement, the PDRD-WG is asked to further enhance the material.
The M&E processes associated with the development of the resource package are finalized and any recommendations for improvement should be incorporated into future processes. The following M&E Tools for Resource Development have been developed

The PDRD-WG should submit the refined Resource Packages to the T&D Chief/Chair for uploading onto the TDIS and the LRMDS Portal so it can be easily accessed for future reference and shared with others. School level Resource Packages may be submitted through the Division PDRD-WG.
